Description:

An antique cuckoo clock wall model in hand-sculpted wood with a warm, dark patina finish.

The case features an architectural structure surmounted by a full-round cresting depicting a stag head with antlers, positioned above an intricate composition of relief-carved oak leaves and branches. The foliage carving continues along the sides and base, beautifully framing the clock face.

The circular wooden dial features Roman numerals and openwork shaped metal hands. Above the dial sits the arched door for the automated cuckoo movement.

The lower section of the case is completed by a carved wooden fence motif, from which the leaf-shaped pendulum and two pinecone-shaped cast iron weights hang, suspended by the chains of the mechanical movement.
